The Memphis Grizzlies provided an injury update on Ja Morant ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Grizzlies star Ja Morant is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Jazz at FedExForum. Morant missed Friday's win over the Pelicans with an illness. Coach Taylor Jenkins said Friday that he hoped Morant and forward Santi Aldama — who also missed Friday's game with an illness — would be able to return Saturday.

The Memphis Grizzlies have dealt with a rollercoaster season when it comes to Ja Morant's availability this season. Numerous times this season, Morant has been unexpectedly added to an injury report on the day of a game - Friday night's game was no different.
